Ranger - Blackwash

When looking back at the history of pocket knives, no one can argue the significance of the classic slipjoint. An industry staple and, for many people, the gateway to higher-end knives, a slipjoint transports you back to a time when simplicity and reliability were paramount. The guys at Tactile and Jared Oeser have been friends for a while and, when it finally came time to collaborate on a design, he paid homage to their Texan roots with an unusual, "Bowie" blade shape complemented with an atypical, complex pivot and dash of modern design. After Jared made the first prototype he showed to his neighbor and good friend who is an Army Ranger, hence the name.
